Drink-driver killed herself in prison after inmates' verbal abuse

Katie Allan, 21, killed herself after being sent to Polmont Young Offenders' Institution, near Falkirk.

Her incarceration came after defence lawyers said her chances of serving time as a first-time offender were "next to nothing".

But the Glasgow University third-year geography student was jailed for 16 months after admitting dangerous drink driving in 2018.

Having downed cider at a birthday party she lost control of her car and hit a boy of 15 out jogging.

He suffered a broken ankle and fractured eye socket. Katie said she was "devastated".
